This resource is excellent to introduce the topic of decimal numbers. And you may use it during the whole unit to keep the students motivated and engaged during the unit.
The objective of this activity is that each student shares with the rest of the classroom the previous knowledge they have about decimal numbers, what they want to learn and what they will be learning during the unit.
For this, the students will build a tree pasting different figures in an specific place of the classroom designated by the teacher. In the trunk, the students will paste the activities related to previous knowledge:
- In which daily life situations do you think we could use decimal numbers?
-What do you want to learn about decimal numbers?
In the leaves, the work that will be done during the unit.
-In which daily life situation do we use decimal numbers?
-Have you found the answer to any of the questions posed at the beginning of the unit?
If the teacher prefers not to build the tree, the activity can be done just pasting the figures in a wall.
The teacher must designate a space or a wall of the classroom that will be the visible learning wall. This will be use to paste all the activities.
You will also find workshops to evaluate the work done by the students.
Includes:
1. Directions for teachers.
2. Directions for students in two different formats.
3. 4 types of figures to be printed and copied by the teacher for the students to write their answers.
4. Directions to assemble the pockets that will be use to store the figures.
5. 4 pockets (with the image of the matching figure) to store the figures.
6. Three guides for the teacher to do follow ups:
- Decimals in real life situations.
- Students questions.
- Student answers.
7. Two workshops for the students:
- In which daily life situations do we use decimal numbers?
- Questions and answers.
